Haddington, the county town of the traditional Scottish county of East Lothian, is located within a bend of the River Tyne, approximately 400 miles north of London and 17 miles east of Edinburgh. At one time Haddington was the fourth biggest city in Scotland after Aberdeen, Roxburgh and Edinburgh.
Haddington is also the home to East Lothian's administration, a boost to the status and local economy of the town. Retailers based in Haddington include Tesco, Subway, Boots (the chemist), and Greggs (the baker), amongst others. Besides retail and administration, the town is also home to various lawyers' firms and has industrial capacity in the works beside the Tyne at the Victoria Bridge (PureMalt), and around the site of the old station - Lemac, and various smaller industrial units and garages.
The town sits on the A1 dual-carriageway linking Edinburgh with London and it’s currently served by several bus companies that travel to Edinburgh, Berwick-upon-Tweed, and other towns and villages in East Lothian.
